Hello, I just bought my first wood stove, a free standing Pacific Energy Vista. I read a lot about the2-3-10ft rule and still feel a bit confused about the height of chimney I should have. Right now I have 5ft of class-A double wall pipe that is extending from the roof, which meets the peak of my roof. The peak of the roof is about 8ft away from the chimney. Does this mean the chimney needs to rise an additionally 2ft above the peak? That would make 7ft of chimney extending from the roof? I know I would need a brace as well. Is that too much chimney to be sticking outside?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
